The Question of Belonging
In Nobody Wants This Season 2, Joanne wrestles with one of life’s oldest questions — Who am I, and where do I belong?
Her hesitation to convert to Judaism isn’t just about faith — it’s about identity, meaning, and alignment.
In today’s episode, Alex Hill explores how Joanne’s journey mirrors Zen and Buddhist ideas of the self as ever-changing — not fixed, but flowing — and the Stoic belief that true belonging comes from within, through virtue and authenticity.
Because the truest conversion isn’t into a religion.
It’s into honesty.
